Ride and Drive Event With University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust

GMP DRIVERCARE held another successful “Ride and Drive” Event at the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust in Derby on the 19th September 2018. This event was held in conjunction with the Trust’s promotion of Sustainability around transport which took place over the week.The Trust has taken the great decision to support the environment in Derby, providing their staff with either Electric or Hybrid Vehicles. GMP support this decision and showcased a number of these types of vehicles which staff were able to view, drive and obtain information on. We also held a stand inside the Hospital to answer queries on the Schemes open to their employees and provide information on Electric vehicles, Charging Points and available grants, we even had members of the Public making enquires!

Established key principles of data privacy will remain relevant in the new Data Protection Legislation but there are also several changes that will affect commercial arrangements, both new and existing, with suppliers. The new General Data Protection Regulations specify that any processing of personal data, by a Processor, should be governed by a contract with certain provisions included.
